Grab a map.

Description

get_map() is a smart wrapper that queries the Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and Stadia Maps servers for a map.

Usage

get_map(
  location = c(lon = -95.3632715, lat = 29.7632836),
  zoom = "auto",
  scale = "auto",
  maptype = c(GOOGLE_VALID_MAP_TYPES, STADIA_VALID_MAP_TYPES),
  source = c("google", "osm", "stadia"),
  force = ifelse(source == "google", TRUE, FALSE),
  messaging = FALSE,
  urlonly = FALSE,
  filename = NULL,
  crop = TRUE,
  color = c("color", "bw"),
  language = "en-EN",
  ...
)

Arguments

location

an address, longitude/latitude pair (in that order), or left/bottom/right/top bounding box

zoom

map zoom, an integer from 3 (continent) to 21 (building), default value 10 (city). openstreetmaps limits a zoom of 18, and the limit on Stadia Maps depends on the maptype. "auto" automatically determines the zoom for bounding box specifications, and is defaulted to 10 with center/zoom specifications. maps of the whole world currently not supported.

scale

scale argument of get_googlemap() or get_openstreetmap()

maptype

character string providing map theme. options available are "terrain", "terrain-background", "satellite", "roadmap", and "hybrid" (Google Maps), "stamen_terrain", "stamen_toner", "stamen_toner_lite", "stamen_watercolor", "stamen_terrain_background", "stamen_toner_background", "stamen_terrain_lines", "stamen_terrain_labels", "stamen_toner_lines", "stamen_toner_labels" (Stadia Maps)

source

Google Maps ("google"), OpenStreetMap ("osm"), Stadia Maps ("stadia")

force

force new map (don't use archived version)

messaging

turn messaging on/off

urlonly

return url only

filename

destination file for download (file extension added according to format). Default NULL means a random tempfile().

crop

(Stadia and cloudmade maps) crop tiles to bounding box

color

color ("color") or black-and-white ("bw")

language

language for google maps

...

...

Value

a ggmap object (a classed raster object with a bounding box attribute)

Examples


## Not run:  some requires Google API key, see ?register_google

## basic usage
########################################

# lon-lat vectors automatically use google:
(map <- get_map(c(-97.14667, 31.5493)))
str(map)
ggmap(map)

# bounding boxes default to Stadia Maps
(map <- get_map(c(left = -97.1268, bottom = 31.536245, right = -97.099334, top = 31.559652)))
ggmap(map)

# characters default to google
(map <- get_map("orlando, florida"))
ggmap(map)


## basic usage
########################################

(map <- get_map(maptype = "roadmap"))
(map <- get_map(source = "osm"))
(map <- get_map(source = "stadia", maptype = "stamen_watercolor"))

map <- get_map(location = "texas", zoom = 6, source = "stadia")
ggmap(map, fullpage = TRUE)
